The public battle for Jetstar HK continues.

Recent article here, authored by the JHK CEO, from the South China Morning Post

Hong Kong needs its own home-based budget airline | South China Morning Post
Even if what the article says is correct, and given it is written by the Jetstar HK CEO who maybe be out of a job soon it is hardly an unbiased account, no where in the article does he address the fundamental issue delaying Jetstar Hong Kong and that is management control. All of the delays relate to the structure where Jayne H (and by extension AJ) control the business decisions from Melbourne (and Sydney). Yes, there is an argument about slots but unless Jetstar can overcome the ownership issues, they are doomed and the losses currently being endured will continue.
